The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off OF revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers as well us rcliey-
ing the burden of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with Green
August fl0p0 and Boschoe's German
Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents
per dozen has been added to increase the
size of the bottles containing these rene
dies, thereby giving one fifth more medi.
cine in the 70 cent size. The August
Floicer for Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plant, and the German Syrup for Cough
and Lung Troubles, have perhaps the
largest sale of any medicines in the world.
The advantage of increased size of the
bottles will be greatly appreciated by the
sick and afflicted in every town and village
in civilized countries. Sample bottles for
10 cents remain the same size.

AT the most democratic college in the
country the adjective, of course, not be-
ing used in a party sense, and IN in~titu-
ton where money counts little in the
social status of an undergraduate, the
official estimate of the expenses of stu
dents given in the new Yale university
command wide perusal. The estimates
cover ~thirty-seven weeks of the year. the
period when the college is actually in ses-
sion, and are graded rs follows: Lowest
estimate of the ordinary college expenses.
1888 for the thirty-scven weeks; general
average, $3.50; and very liberal, $3.50.
These figures omit charge for clothing.
and are necessarily mere approximations,
but they will impress most OF the Yale
graduates as substantially correct.
OF course there are striking exceptions
10 the figures printed above. We rcmcnh-
her one case of u student who went through
one year ut Ynle Oh about 800 But he
lived on IA scale little above nhject poverty
lie had a single suit of clothes, and "A iow
crackers with quarter Of u pound of cheese
bought at a grocery were his ordinary
meal He had also his tuition fee, Tt
mitted, and We believe got his college room
free. Another Yale graduate we recall,
who has since risen TO n post more lucrn-
tive and responsible than perhaps any OF
his college mates in the same class. He
began his freshman year with just 50 In
his pocket and worked his way through
without mourning n single permanent
debt. We all know what the usual result
is in the case Of these poor students. They
go to college to make the most of m OPP
pOrtunity, and they Utmost invariably do
50. To the special and peculiar honor Of
Ynlc, be it said, these academic heroes
never lose at college their social equality
because their coats IRE t~hreadbarc and
their dollars few. The moral leader OF one
of the largest recent classes at Yale was
one who thus earned his way to n diplomn

Would We Return d?

Were opened vide for us and IL the dear
Remembered pathway stretched before US

To lead us back to youths lost land at

Wherein life's April shadows lightly cast
Recalled the old sweet days of childish fear
With all their faded hopes and brought
anear
The far-off streams in which onr skies
were glassed;
Did these lostdreams which wake the souls
sad yearning
Rut live once more and waited our return

Would we return?
Would we return
If loves enchantment held the heart no
And we had come to count the wild sweet
pain, =
The fond distress, the lavish tears--but
vain -.
Had cooled the hearts hot wounds amidst
the roar
of mountain gales, or, on some alien shore
Worn out the souls long anguish and had
AT last the dragon of despair-if then the
train
of vanished years came back, and, as of
yore,
The same voice called, and with soft eyes
beguiliug,
Oar lost owe beekoneI, through une's
gray ytil smiling,
Mould we return?
Would we return
Once we had crossed to deaths unloVeiy

And trod the bloomless ways among the
lead
Lone and unhappy after years had he'd
With twilight wings along that glimmei-
ing strand,
If then-an angel came with outstretch-

How soon the tears that once for US are shea
May flow for others-how like words IN

Our memory fades away-how oft our
waking
Might vex the living with the dead hearts
breaking,
Would we return,-
